Anubias Nana White

Anubias Nana White is a unique and decorative variety of the popular Anubias Nana, prized for its rare creamy white foliage that stands out amidst green aquarium plants. Developed through selective cultivation, Nana White has gained popularity among aquascapers seeking distinctive, eye-catching accents for both nano and larger aquariums. Its compact, bushy growth originates from a short rhizome, producing small, rounded leaves that create dense clusters when grouped.

Like all Anubias species, Nana White is extremely hardy and grows well under low to moderate light, making it suitable for beginners. Its slow-growing nature ensures minimal maintenance, while its small leaves are less prone to algae when placed in shaded or indirect light. The plant should never be buried in substrate; instead, it naturally attaches to driftwood, rocks, or other aquarium hardscape, allowing for flexible aquascaping designs.

Care Requirements:

Lighting: Low to moderate; shaded or indirect light prevents algae buildup

Temperature: 22–28 °C (72–82 °F)

pH Range: 6.0–7.5

CO₂: Optional; promotes faster growth but not necessary

Propagation: Rhizome division; best done when plants are well established

Anubias Nana White works beautifully as a midground feature in planted tanks, or as a small accent in nano aquariums. Its unique white foliage provides contrast against green plants, making it ideal for creating focal points. Hardy, resilient, and visually striking, it’s a prized addition to any aquascaper’s collection.
